We were concerned that it was raining, however, the tour guide, Michael Fields, was quite knowledgeable and made it worth getting wet on the upper deck. We wouldn't change a thing.

Disappointing compared to other times
Christine_S
, Jul. 2021
Usually I love Big Bus; I've done their tours in several cities, including abroad. But this one was really disappointing. The narrative was a recording (I prefer a live person and they typically do a great job but I totally understand the shortage of labor so not a huge deal). The problem was that the recording was "broadcast" among the bus without headphones. It was impossible to hear, especially for the folks on the top deck (open area) of the bus. Don't get me wrong, Chicago is amazing and I loved looking at it for an hour, but I spent nearly $100 to try to learn something and that just didn't happen.

There was no room on the bus and a ton of people who couldn’t get on. We were told we could wait until the tour was over and go, but that was too late for us.

Bus Tour on a Tuesday
Courtney_Y
, Jul. 2021
Hello! The bus tour is a great way to see all of the Chicago neighborhoods. If you want to sit up top (you do) get there an hour early. It was difficult to hear the narration - the noise of the city was one factor but there were about four children who were cheering and screaming with delight most of the time … this was cute at first but between the mostly quiet narration, the city noise, and the kids… I was sad to say I’m not sure I heard more than 15 percent of the tour. I wonder if the company would consider having people blue tooth in to hear the narration? I’ve done this on other tours and it works well as then you can hear at the volume that works for you and block out extraneous noise.

No Seats on Top
Ron
, Jun. 2021
Should have made it plain that if you didn’t arrive 45 minutes early all top seats would be taken. Were given the option to come the next day but we already had tours scheduled the next night. Very disappointed because we were told we would be able to see everything from inside but we were not.

The lower part of the bus was hot. Very uncomfortable. The recording of what we were seeing at the time was way off. We could never tell what was going on.
